I took both of these today when we were bored. I prefer shooting landscape and nature but I have been working on getting better at doing portrait photography. If you can see anything I could do better please feel free to comment.

Alright thanks. And it is a chandelier in the background. On the color version it doesn't stand out as much as it does in the black and white version. I will see if I can photoshop it out a little later tonight. I might even recrop it.

you could get away with just cropping the second one down a little more, and then you'd have a lot less to PS. When I was looking at the picture I had scrolled down to far and didnt notice the background until Mike said something, and when I scrolled up was like "WOW its right there!"
